This one last bullet you mentioned, is my one last shot at redemption.

Hmmmm, am I always that bad?
Am I that lousy and incapable?
Why do you always run me down?
How come you always make me seem like I'm not doing anything right?
Are you trying to tell me that whatever I do is never good enough for you?
Are your perspectives always better than mine?
Do you need to always be so harsh to me?
Do I really need to hide in my shell all the time?
Must I change the way I'm thinking?
Why do you always seem like you want things to be your kinda perfect?


What should I do?
What should I do?
What should I do?

Suzhou was fun, enriching, and rewarding.
Definitely.
A gold and a third place, how smashing cool is that?
The award is definitely a bonus for us aside from seeing us bond, and feeling the warmth.
I think it's so special that maybe pictures could tell a better story than I can.

It's never the results that's important, it's the journey.



I had fun in the process of preparing for the competition and I think I've learnt an awful lotta things. I think we've grown as a choir and that's what really matters.

No matter what we come back with, one gold, two golds, or none at all, it really doesn't matter. What's important is that we've given our best and we've benefitted from this process. That way, we have no regrets at all.


Awards are just materialistic pleasures.


Even if we don't do as good as we expected to. So what? What's done is done, what's the use of whining and complaining and cursing and blaming anyone at all? Just push harder and strive further next time.


Come what may, come what may.

Some choirs can practice for half a year, be fully prepared, but still screw up on competition stage. Some choirs however, barely d0 anything but yet they still shine.

Nothing is ever guaranteed. Nothing is ever certain.
You never know what might happen.
So why anticipate?
Let it surprise you, let it excite you.


So long as you've done what you're supposed to to the fullest, you have nobody at all to answer to. You don't have to deal with your guilt. Where would the guilt come from in the first place?



But we have a hell lotta potential and we know it.
We just gotta unleash it and show everyone our substance.
And I know we can do it if everyone puts their heart to it.
We don't need no one else.
We don't anything else.
We have our voices and our strong will.



There might be people in the choir whom you totally detest and never want to get along with.

But a choir is a choir.
A team is a team.
A song can only be sung together.
And music can only be crafted as one.



If everyone can put aside their selfish desires, put aside their personal feelings, put aside everything else around them and focus on giving your 110%...

Then we can touch hearts.
We can soar high.
We can make music.



So sway to the beat, let your heart leap with every single chord, and bring out that enticing melody from deep within.


Besides, "music that doesn't come from the heart is barely music at all."

If I could see you now, I'd run over and give you the biggest hug and show you how sorry I am for all the things I've done.



If only I could see you now.

Maybe I'm from another planet.
Maybe I just can't seem to get anything right.
Maybe I just suck, that's all.


I think I've tried.
I think I've tried really hard.
Wait, did I try hard enough? Maybe enough is never enough.

Trying is just bullshit.



I'd rather be alone, isolated, away from everyone else. Cause it feels so much easier when you're the only person you have to face. Take me away, away from the crowd. I hate this. For once, for once, for once, i'm starting to feel discouraged and fucked up. I'm not like that, but somehow i'm morphing into such a pathetic soul.

And why should I have to care? I don't owe anybody anything. I don't need to do this and I know it. I don't NEED to. But I don't know why I'm still feeling something in me that's telling me it's only right to do so.


I need not hide behind this facade anymore.
I need not disguise the tears.
I need not have to do this anymore.

I hate to sound effing emo.
I hate to write these kinda posts.
I hate to have to show anybody at all how I really feel.

But when all other forms of salvation fail to fufil its duty, I've got to pour those miserable feelings out somewhere, anywhere will do. Not to prove anything, not to tell any tales.


But I know at the end of the day, I'd find a way out.
And somehow, I know I'd still be able to say that I love my life.
And I do.

I know i'm not in a bad state, and neither do I think so.
I never want to think my life sucks cause I know countless beautiful things exist.
If only I was able to see through the fog and reach out for those things, I would feel better.
And it takes time.




So should I just pack my bags, leave, and live my own life?
Or tell me, should I stay.


Why won't you just tell me.




(Edit: The performance WAS an improvement from the previous rehearsal. And for that I'm tremendously touched by the efforts put in by every single member, no matter how big or small. I really appreciate the fact that y'all put in your hearts into something you don't have to. It's the fact that you WANT to, that affirms me on the wonders of music. No performance is ever good enough. And that's why we have to keep striving. We didn't do perfect, but we can't turn back time. It doesn't matter anymore. And because we took a step forward, we deserved the three cheers. To the non-suzhou people, have an awesome rest. And to the rest of us, get y'all butts moving and start working for that gold!)

I feel like superwoman.
But i'm one who wouldn't mind succumbing to my kryptonite.
However, when I yearn for it, it doesn't comply.



Make me weak, because I wanna fall.
Fall on my knees, fall into someone's arms, fall into soothing comfort.





I wished someone up there would stop playing this tiresome game of irony with me.
And how I wished someone would tell me who I should be.

If I see everything as an obligation, i'd never be merry. But if I mend myself and neglect my responsibilities, it's guilt that engulfs me.

So how can I view my obligations in a perspective that makes me wants to fufil them?
How can I chase my selfishness away and change it into a positive energy without hurting myself?





People grow. And they only grow to be stronger.

Maybe I am.
Maybe I am, even if I don't want to.
Maybe, just maybe, it's what's good for me.

Maybe everything will be alright by tommorow.
Maybe everything is already alright.


Maybe I should start searching for that one powerful song that heals.
